Fiorentina are set to name a similar line-up to the one that played against Maccabi Haifa in the first leg of the Conference League round of 16 first leg last week when the return leg takes place in Tuscany on Thursday evening.
La Viola have a narrow advantage heading into the second leg at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, having beaten Maccabi 4-3 in dramatic fashion in Budapest seven days ago.
Thursday morning’s reports suggest that Vincenzo Italiano is set to name the same back four, with Michael Kayode and Cristiano Biraghi at full-back and a centre-half pairing of Nikola Milenkovic and Luca Ranieri.
Rolando Mandragora is likely to start in midfield and could be joined by Giacomo Bonaventura in the double pivot.
Jonathan Ikone, Lucas Beltran, Nico Gonzalez and M’Bala Nzola are the attackers in line to start on Thursday night.
Injured goalkeeper Oliver Christensen and Christian Kouame, who misses out through continued illness, are the only expected absentees for Fiorentina.
Kick-off is scheduled for 17.45 GMT.
